<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 6384477, member: 51"]Sure looks like an authentic MCM lamp. I can't say whether it was made by the Modeline company though. Extremely unlikely it is a modern reproduction of any kind, IMO. One quick check for that would be to look at the plug. If it looks older, evidence the lamp is vintage. I don't even know if they are doing repro's of this kind of thing. (Of course if the plug looks newer, possibly it was rewired.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The price seems a tad on the high side --but depends where you live. I would expect it to be in pretty much flawless condition, shade perfect, for that price. But I could see it selling for close to that where I live. It is a cool lamp.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as your problems getting your mom an account, maybe contact a moderator and ask for help. Our mods (kindly!!) volunteer their time. I know we have had scammers left and right, so there may be some automatic refusal if something raises a red flag. If you think your mom would like joining this group (seems like she has good taste after all...) I'd try that route.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
